FRIENDSHIP 


THE  BOOK  OF 
FRIENDSHIP 


WHEN  I  have  attempt- 
ed to  join  myself  to 
others  by  services,  it 
proved  an  intellec- 
tual trick, — no  more.  They  eat 
your  service  like  apples,  and  leave 
you  out.  But  love  them,  and  they 
feel  you,  and  delight  in  you  all  the 

time.  — Emcrion.

THE  BOOK   OF  FRIENDSHIP 

SO,  if  I  live  or  die  to  serve 
my  friend, 
Tis  for  my  love, — 'tis  for 
my  friend  alone. 
And  not  for  any  rate  that  friend- 
ship bears 
In  heaven  or  on  earth.     —George  Eiiot 

Old  friends  are  the  only  ones 
whose  hold  is  upon  our  inmost  be- 
ing; others  but  half  replace  them. 

—Voltaire 

True  friends  appear  less  mov'd 
than  counterfeit.  —Horace 


« 


THE  BOOK  OF  FRIENDSHIP 

IT  IS  sublime  to  feel  and  say 
of  another,  I  need  never 
meet,  or  speak,  or  write  to 
him;  we  need  not  reenforce 
ourselves,  or  send  tokens  of  re- 
membrance; I  rely  on  him  as  on 
myself;  if  he  did  thus  and  thus,  I 
know  it  was  right.  — EmeMon 

A  true  Friendship  is  as  wise  as 
it  is  tender.  The  parties  to  it 
yield  implicitly  to  the  guidance  of 
their  love,  and  know  no  other  law 

but  kindness.  —Hcnrj  D.  Xhoreau

THE  BOOK   OF  FRIENDSHIP 

FRIENDSHIP  is  a  vase, 
which,  when  it  is  flawed 
by  heat  or  violence  or  ac- 
cident, may  as  well  be 
broken  at  once;  it  can  never  be 
trusted  after.  The  more  graceful 
and  ornamental  it  was,  the  more 
clearly  do  we  discern  the  hopeless- 
ness of  restoring  it  to  its  former 
state.  Coarse  stones,  if  they  are 
fractured,  may  be  cemented  again; 
precious  stones  never.  — Landor 

Friendship's  the  wine  of  life.— Young

THE  BOOK  OF  FRIENDSHIP 

GIVE  me   the   avow'd,    the 
erect,  the  manly  foe  ; 
Bold     I      can     meet — 
perhaps     may      turn 
his    blow  ; 
But  of  all  plagues,  good  Heaven, 

thy  wrath  can  send, 
Save,  save,  oh!  save  me  from  the 

candid   friend.  -_George  Canning 

How  often  we  find  ourselves 
turning  our  backs  on  our  actual 
Friends,  that  we  may  go  and  meet 

their  ideal  cousins.       —Henry  D.  Thoreau

THE  BOOK  OF  FRIENDSHIP 

COMMON  friendships  will 
admit  of  division;  one 
may  love  the  beauty  of 
this,  the  good  humor  of 
that  person,  the  Hberahty  of  a 
third,  the  paternal  affection  of  a 
fourth,  the  fraternal  love  of  a  fifth, 
and  so  on.  But  this  friendship 
that  possesses  the  w^hole  soul,  and 
there  rules  and  sways  v^^ith  an 
absolute  sovereignty,  can  :,dmit  of 

no  rival.  —Montaigne 

Friendship  is  a  sheltering  tree.

friends  to  ourselves;  and  yet  it  is 
this  preference  that  alone  consti-

IN    all    thy    humors,    whether

Thou'rt     such     a    touchy,

THE  BOOK   OF  FRIENDSHIP 

FRIENDSHIP  is  a  severe 
sentiment,  solidly  seated, 
since  it  rests  upon  all 
that  is  highest  in  us, 
the  purely  intellectual  part  of  us. 
What  happiness  to  be  able  to  say 
all  that  one  feels  to  someone  who 
comprehends  one  to  the  very  end 
and  not  only  up  to  a  certain  point, 
to  someone  who  completes  one's 
thought  with  the  same  word  that 
was  on  one*s  lips,  someone  the 
reply  of  whom  starts  from  one  a 
torrent  of  conceptions,  a  flood  of 

ideas!  —Pierre  Loti

THE     man    that    hails    you 
Tom  or  Jack, 
And   proves  by    thumps 
upon  your  back 
How  he  esteems  your  merit, 
Is  such  a  friend  that  one  had  need 
Be  very  much  his  friend  indeed 
To  pardon  or  to  bear  it. 

— Cowper 

Judge    before    friendship,     then

SE  P  A  R  A  T  E  thyself  from 
thine  enemies,  and  take 
heed  of  thy  friends.  A 
faithful  friend  is  a  strong 
defence  ;  and  he  that  hath  found 
such  an  one  hath  found  a  treasure. 
Nothing  doth  countervail  a  faithful 
friend,  and  his  excellency  is  invalu- 
able. A  faithful  friend  is  the 
medicine  of  life;  and  they  that 
fear  the  Lord  shall  find  him.

THOU  may'st  be  sure  that 
he  that  will,  in  private, 
tell  thee  of  thy  faults,  is 
thy  friend,  for  he 
adventures  thy  dislike,  and  doth 
hazard  thy  hatred;  there  are  few 
men  that  can  endure  it,  every  man 
for  the  most  part  delighting  in

most  universal  follies  that 
bewitcheth  mankind.

THE  BOOK  OF  FRIENDSHIP 

ONCE  let  friendship  be 
given  that  is  born  of 
God,  nor  time  nor  cir- 
cumstance can  change  it 
to  a  lessening;  it  must  be  mutual 
growth,  increasing  trust,  widening 
faith,  enduring  patience,  forgiving 
love,  unselfish  ambition,  and  an 
affection  built  before  the  Throne, 
which  will   bear  the   test   of  time 

and   trial.  —Allan  Throckmorton

THE  BOOK   OF  FRIENDSHIP 

A  MAN  that  is  fit  to  make 
a  friend  of  must  have 
conduct  to  manage  the 
engagement,  and  resolu- 
tion to  maintain  it.  He  must  use 
freedom  without  roughness,  and 
oblige  without  design.  Cowardice 
will  betray  friendship,  and  covet- 
ousness  will  starve  it.  Folly  will 
be  nauseous,  passion  is  apt  to  ruffle, 
and  pride  will  fly  out  into  con- 
tumely and  neglect.  — Jercmy  Collier

THE  BOOK  OF  FRIENDSHIP 

SOME     look    to    friendship 
for     absolute    exemption 
from  criticism,  and  for  a 
mutual  admiration  with- 
out  limit   or    conditions.       Others 
mistake  it  for  the  right  of  exces- 
sive criticism,  in  season  and  out  of 

season.  —John  Morle/ 

Of  what  use  is  the  friendliest 
disposition  even,  if  there  are  no 
hours  given  to  Friendship,  if  it  is 
forever  postponed  to  unimportant 
duties  and  relations  .?

WHAT  is  loving — that 
verb  (amare)  where- 
from  the  very  name 
of  friendship  (ami^ 
citia)  is  derived — but  wishing  one 
to  enjoy  the  best  possible  good 
fortune,  even  if  none  of  it  accrues 
to  one's  self?  — ciccro 

Even  the  utmost  good-will  and 
harmony  and  practical  kindness 
are  not  sufficient  for  Friendship, 
for  Friends  do  not  live  in  harmony 
merely,  as  some  say,  but  in  melody. 

—Henry  D.  Thoreau

THE  BOOK  OF  FRIENDSHIP 

THINK  of  the  importance 
of  Friendship  in  the 
education  of  men.  It 
will  make  a  man  honest; 
It  will  make  him  a  hero;  it  will 
make  him  a  saint.  It  is  the  state 
of  the  just  dealing  with  the  just, 
the  magnanimous  with  the  mag- 
nanimous, the  sincere  with  the 
sincere,  man  with  man. 

— Henry  D.  Thoreau 

The  admirer  is  never  stupid  in 
the  eyes  of  the  admired.     — Hcivctiu«

THE  BOOK   OF  FRIENDSHIP 

ONE  of  the  surest  evidences 
of  friendship  that  one  in- 
dividual can  display  to 
another  is  telling  him 
gently  of  a  fault.  If  any  other  can 
excel  it,  it  is  listening  to  such  a  dis- 
closure with  gratitude,  and  amend- 
ing the  error.  —Bulwer-Lytton 

We  never  exchange  more  than 
three  words  with  a  Friend  in  our 
lives  on  that  level  to  which  our 
thoughts      and      feelings      almost 

habitually    rise.  —Henry  D.  Xhorcau 

24 


THE  BOOK  OF  FRIENDSHIP 

IF  thou  wouldst  get  a  friend, 
prove  him  first,  and  be  not 
hasty  to  credit  him;  for  some 
man  is  a  friend  for  his  own 
occasion,  and  will  not  abide  in  the 
day  of  thy  trouble.  And  there  is 
a  friend  who,  being  turned  to  enmity 
and  strife,  will  discover  thy  reproach . 
Again,  some  friend  is  a  companion 
at  the  table,  and  will  not  continue 
in  the  day  of  thine  affliction. 

—The  Book  of  Ecclcsiasticus

THE  BOOK  OF  FRIENDSHIP 

FRIENDSHIP  is  a  pact 
where  one  balances 
faults  and  qualities. 
One  can  judge  a  friend, 
take  account  of  what  is  good, 
neglect  what  is  evil,  and  appre- 
ciate exactly  his  value,  in  aban- 
doning one's  self  to  an  intimate, 
profound  and  charming  sympathy.

SON,    if  the    lintels    of  thy

What  shall  I  send  to  him  ? 
Go  thou   rather  on   foot,   and   see 
him  with  thy  eyes;  for  that  is  bet- 
ter for  him  than  a  thousand  talents

We  must  love  our  friends  as  true

NOTHING  is  SO  difficult

matters  which  do  not 
require  the  aid  of 
Friendship,  but  only  a  cheap  and 
trivial  service,  if  your  Friendship 
wants  the  basis  of  a  thorough 
practical  acquaintance.

As    narrower    grows    the    earthly 
chain, 
The  circle  widens  in  the  sky;

OLD  friends  are  the  great 
blessings  of  one's  latter

conveys  one's  meaning. 
They  have  memory  of  the  same 
events,  and  have  the  same  mode  of 
thinking.  I  have  young  relations 
that  grow  upon  me,  for  my  nature 
is  affectionate,  bu^-  can  they  grow

that.  Still  less  can  they  grow 
companions.  Is  it  friendship  to

can  find  a  friend  sincere 
enough  to  tell  him  dis- 
agreeable truths.  — Bulwer-Lytton 

Friendship  is  too  pure  a  pleasure 
for  a  mind  cankered  with  ambition, 
or  the  lust  of  power  and  grandeur. 

— Juniui 

The  firmest  friendships  have 
been  formed  in  mutual  adversity 
as  iron  is  most  strongly  united  by 
the  fiercest  flame.  — Coiton

immovable  as  that  of  woman  for

FRIENDSHIP  heightens  all 
our  affections.      We  re- 
ceive   all    the    ardor    of 
our  friends   in    addition 
to  our  own.      The  communication 
of  minds  gives  to  each  the  fervor 

of   each.  — Channing

THE    services     which

reciprocal    services.     A

Nature  and  religion  are  the  bands
